Our platform is powered by the largest, most diverse health data network in the U.S., enabling data to be secure, accessible and usable to inform better health decisions. Datavant is trusted by the world’s leading life sciences companies, government agencies, and those who deliver and pay for care.

By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a high-performing, values-driven team. Together, we’re rising to the challenge of tackling some of healthcare’s most complex problems with technology-forward solutions. Datavanters bring a diversity of professional, educational and life experiences to realize our bold vision for healthcare.

What We’re Looking For

As the Sr Manager of Cloud Security, you will lead a highly technical team responsible for building and scaling Datavant’s cloud security program. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the security of our cloud infrastructure, guiding a team of skilled engineers, and partnering with cross-functional leaders to implement robust security controls.

What You Will Do

• Use your deep understanding of AWS to help Datavant navigate all the traps of good AWS products vs. great AWS products and know when to be thoughtful on use.
• Have a point of view on secure continuous development and represent it as Datavant continues to mature working collaboratively with other team members.
• Have a point of view on secure network controls and the deep design paradigms of secure cloud networking, overlay networks, and WAF implementation.
• Have strong experience and understanding of containerization, and securing Kubernetes clusters.
• Work directly with security senior leadership to ensure maturity, depth, and coverage of security controls.
• Review components being built in our cloud infrastructure (via pull request reviews and contribution). During these reviews you’ll be mentally present and use your ability to evaluate risk such that you have a great impact on the delivery of secure code. This role is not merely a +1.
• Have an understanding of risks, but may have some knowledge gaps in depth of risk management. It’s OK, we’ll teach you. The core skill set you bring to the table is an engineering mindset.
• Work directly with DevOps peers to help build practical and usable security into the SDLC and AWS.
• Own new projects for advancing security in our environment. Be the deep technical expert and collaborate with others on the teams to ensure project success. Your impact here cannot be understated, you are a core contributor and have deep influence to empower Datavant greatness.
  
  

What You Need To Succeed

• Proven experience leading cloud security teams, with a strong ability to build, mentor, and inspire technical talent.
• Deep understanding of AWS security, with a track record of delivering secure and scalable cloud solutions.
• Expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), secure development lifecycle (SDLC), and DevSecOps principles.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, capable of influencing stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in cloud security, including at least 3 years of leadership experience.
• Experience in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, with knowledge of frameworks like FEDRAMP, HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 (preferred).
  
  

What Helps You Stand Out

• Experience securing clouds other than AWS
• Hands on experience operationalizing a centralized WAF program
